Don't Just Take Our Word For It...

"The salty roads in the winter is where the driveshaft bike really shines. As an old timer, 47, and daily commuter in any weather I am most impressed with the less maintenance of a driveshaft bike. In my daily ride, Somerville to Boston, I would have to do chain maintenance every few weeks due to light snow and tons of salt on the road. Not so with my driveshaft bike, YEAH! I am approaching a one year anniversary of commuting every day on a Switchback. The bike has been virtually flawless. I have loved my driveshaft bike and hope to buy another."

Bike Commuter Buyer's Guide

We get many calls from people just like you making the choice to start commuting to work by bike. The first question they ask is: What is the right bike for me? Here's a guide to help you select the best chainless bike for your commute.

First of all, any of our chainless bikes can work as a commuter bike. With all the important moving parts enclosed, chainless bikes are cleaner, safer and more hassle-free than chain bikes. However, some of our bikes are better suited for certain types of terrain and riding styles. Here's a breakdown of our most popular commuting bicycles:

Crossroad 7

New for 2007, the Crossroad 7 uses the Shimano 7-speed gearing and 700x35C tires on a 7000 series butted aluminum frame with solid aluminum front fork to reduce the weight and give the bike a light, responsive feel. This model is best suited for commutes on rolling to moderately hilly terrain where you have a predictably good smooth surface to ride on. Click HERE for more details.

Crossroad 8

New for 2007, the Crossroad 8 uses the Shimano 8-speed gearing and 700x35C tires on a 7000 series butted aluminum frame with solid aluminum front fork to reduce the weight and give the bike a light, responsive feel. This 8-speed Crossroad adds an additional gear on the low end for steeper and/or longer hill climbs. The Crossroad 8 is best suited for commutes on moderate to steeper hilly rides where you have a predictably good smooth surface to ride on. Click HERE for more details.

Tempo

The Tempo uses the wide-ranging Shimano 8-speed gearing, a high travel front suspension fork with lock-out, a more aggressive riding position, and high pressure 700cx35mm tires for a quick ride. This bike is best suited for road riding where some bumpy terrain is expected - perhaps on roads with broken or rugged shoulders or a bike path with loose gravel. With the Tempo, you can climb hills more rapidly than a traditional bike with front suspension by simply hitting the lock-out switch on the front fork. This locks the front fork in place, allowing more of your energy to go into your pedaling. The Tempo also uses a butted Aluminum frame and all alloy components for light weight and high reliability in all kinds of weather. Click HERE for more details.

Runabout

The Runabout is a versatile hybrid bike, designed to help you get where you are going in comfort and style. The Runabout uses the Shimano 7-speed gearing, a front suspension fork, suspension seat, and an angle adjustable stem to give you a more upright and relaxed riding position. Great for shorter commutes or commutes along terrain without big hills, the Runabout can also work double duty as your bike for fun, recreational weekend rides. Click HERE for more details.

Sprint

We often call the Sprint 'the modern day 10-speed'. If you grew up riding a 10-speed, the Sprint will have very familiar feel in terms of riding position and gear range, but with the added benefits of lighter weight (about 26 pounds) and smoothness and reliability of the chainless system. Using the Shimano 7-speed gearing, the Sprint offers smooth and consistent shifting from the drop position, and uses high pressure 700X28C tires to help zip you along. The Sprint uses a butted aluminum frame, aluminum front fork, drop handlebars, and caliper brakes for a real road bike look, but with a much friendlier price tag. Click HERE for more details.
